I wrote this poem in Indonesian couple years back. I wrote this based on what I felt at that moment. In this world, sometimes we believe in something beautiful that people may not understand. People doesn't believe in us, especially in our kind of love.
Phil Collins's song, You'll Be In My Heart may describes better, that people may not understand what we feel, they may not trust what they can't explain, we may different, but deep inside us, we are not different at all.
It's on us to make them see, to make them realize that we love as they love. So here it is.
They Ask
They ask if there're tears
or it's just a fracturing smile that inspires desire
A lysed dream may never reach the stars
But the heave of this symphony are timeless
They ask if there's laughter
or it's just an eternal sore wound
A beam of hope may not carve aeon
But this faith sends away our loneliness
They ask if certainty will come
or love will fade away bitten by time?
A stanza may not satisfy them
But this love ain't merely vain
They ask, we leap our dreams and tone
They ask, we carve faith and hope
They ask, we weave love and stories
In the end of the time, they will ask
'Can we be like them?'
